    Summary

    It's nearing the end of the autumn term at St Hilarion's, and Charlie Rowland is counting down the days until the summer, when he can be done with school for good. With three weeks back home looming, though, he's losing patience with his friends' idea of fun, and when they decide to sneak out after curfew one night, he doesn't go with them.

    The day after, he wakes up from an awful dream of drowning with a coldness that he can't quite shake and an inexplicable sense that the world is a little dimmer than it used to be. And his friends seem to be holding a grudge against him, acting as if he's not even there.

    Now, there's a boy who no one else can see and a girl who claims she can read minds trying to convince him that he knows them. The stories that they're telling him seem far too outlandish to be real. But when everything they tell him starts coming true, he has to wonder: what if they're right?
